The Oilers played the Ducks tonight. The Oilers lost against the Ducks tonight. A 5-1 slaughtering.

Six games. Six losses. 23 goals against, five for.

I'm not sure what to say about all this. The loss of Ryan Smyth...the wide smorgasboard of injuries...incompetence on the blue line...and a complete loss of faith in coach Craig MacTavish by the entire roster.

This, folks, is how you try and get the best possible draft pick once you're convinced you're not going to make the playoffs.

Feels like 1994, baby...
